Nietzsche The Composer

Friend and fellow blogger S.K. Orr recently learned that philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche composed music. Unlike S.K., I knew Nietzsche composed music, but (also unlike S.K.) I had never taken the time to listen to any of the philosopher's compositions.

My music knowledge is embarrassingly unsophisticated, which makes me oblivious to the likely flaws and shortcomings of Nietzsche's musical creations. Having said that, I rather enjoyed the selections featured in the clip below as well as the selections S.K has featured on his blog here.
